Text user interface consumes less resources allowing the program to use more, and thus, computing faster. Not enough faster to matter, but enough faster to make you a faggot.

It's called CLI you retarded autist.

TUIs can be a little different from a CLI I think. CLI implies something like a shell, you enter commands at a line prompt. TUIs are something like vim, or sc, or ncurses programs or Turbovision programs which can even involve text-based "windows" and mouse input.

TUI programs are usually lose the advantage of being easily scriptable vs CLI programs, but they still have a small advantage over GUI programs in terms of resource usage, and you can still use them in mostly all the same environments where CLI can be used, so you gain a little of the advantages of GUI programs without needing to change your environment to involve a graphical system.

Maybe twenty years ago. These days, terminals are clusterfucks and OpenGL accelerated most likely in an inefficient way.
I.e. you can create more efficient software with a GUI using GLFW and being proficient with OpenGL.

>>61623191
Even if that were true, you're still using one slightly more resource heavy program to run dozens of extremely less resource heavy programs that don't even need to involve OpenGL, vs a dozen separate slightly less resource heavy programs.

>>61620469
you underestimate the amount of resources communicating to a display server and software rendering a user interface takes.
it's a lot.
